Facebook Image linking

Hi i want to know how can i get the link to the profile picture in facebook

<img src="https://graph.facebook.com/me/picture?type=large&access_token=<?php echo $params['access_token'] ?>"/>

is automatically converted into a link (When i right click on the image and property the .JPG link is given (Below) )

https://fbcdn-profile-a.akamaihd.net/hprofile-ak-ash2/573939_100000564553314_108738462_n.jpg

How could i get the 2nd link directly instead of using graph.facebook.com/me/picture.... link ?

With FQL:

SELECT pic FROM user WHERE uid = me()

Selecting 'pic' will return the CDN URL to the medium-sized profile picture for the user being queried.

You can change 'pic' to 'pic_small', 'pic_big' or 'pic_square' depending on the size you want. Detailed descriptions of each are available on the FB Developer pages

/me?fields=picture&type=large - will return the image as a text response instead of a HTTP redirect - note that the FBCDN URL could conceivably change at some point, so don't assume it's static
